Thanks to an editorial program in process in Toledo‘s cathedral our knowledge of the musical repertoire intended for the musical chapel in Toledo will be better known and understood. The recent discover of a design of a pitch pipe for a 1584 organ used in Toledo‘s cathedral sheds new Light on tuning issues during the Renaissance. This article‘s aim is to offer a preliminary report of this design, placing it within tune parameters of the time as well as setting it in both Toledan and international contexts. Accurate future acoustics research on this design will probably allow us to have a better knowledge of performances pratices during the second half of the 16th century.
